Abstract
We give a new proof, in scheme-theoretic language, of Tate’s classical result on genus change of curves over imperfect fields in characteristic p > 0 p>0 . Namely, for normal geometrically integral curves, the difference between arithmetic and geometric genus over the algebraic closure is divisible by ( p − 1 ) / 2 (p-1)/2 .
